Hehe :P Hey Brad you could drive it! You've got the credentials.

Naaa if John is a nanna'/soft **** driver then I must be somewhere about the level of a great great great nanna!

Well I thrashed 6 new Porsches last Thursday on a Porsche drive day & will be doing the same to a 325,330,M3 SMG,X5,7 series, &

a couple of Cooper S minis tomorrow on the BMW drive day down to Goolwa airport(run by Alan Moffet & Adelaide Motors).

They dont allow weak drivers on these days - so I must be doing something right. While you are all busy working tomorrow spare a

thought for me out on the skid pan in all the new BMWs.

Brad - bring your torry out on the 5th & I'll show you how soft I am.BTW - when was the last time you actually raced your car?

Gates open - 4pm

Racing starts - 5pm

Racing finishes - ~10-10.30pm

Entry fee to compete - $50

Spectators - $17

Don't forget to have - helmet, long sleeve top & pants, licence, pen to fill out entry form, oh & don't forget to bring your car :D

question, are we all planning on having our cars in the same area?? if so where would be a good place?? That way If some of us have stuff we have to take out of our cars while we run we have somewhere to put it. Any ideas, comments??? I also heard it was only 10bucks this week to watch not sure though. Is this alcahol free on not?

Pawley - bring her out and have a go ya big girls blouse .... regardless if it's 'ready' or not, it will set a benchmark for you to improve on.

Matt - I reckon where we parked our cars last time is a good spot .... on the dirt/dead grass area behind the pine trees ..... directly South from the track parallel with the entry gate.

Since they didn't search our cars last time, I assume we can bring what we want. However, if you're driving I'd suggest a 0% alcohol reading would be necessary, should you be tested :P

For anyones info that hasn't been before - it is MUCH better to get there at 4pm on the dot as the later the night gets, the more cars roll in and the longer you have to line up for/wait between runs.

Me drink?? not while im driving. If we get there early enough we may be able to get some space on the grass?? Hope ur going to rum Andrew iven if it means that you have to sleep on the couch when you get home:D

:confused:

me thinks i'm just gunna be on the look out for some cars that i recognise.

I'll be there bang on 4pm .... does anyone wanna meet up at my place and cruise up together? I am at Northgate. Will leave about 3:40pm. Ring on 0414 904 451

Not very happy with my times but oh well not to bad for my first time out. 14.7, 14.1 & 14.8 I think next time I will use my normal tyres & save the 540s for the road. I hate my 2nd gear on the third run it would not go in. All my mph were between 101 & 106 dont know weather that is any good or not. Bring on the meeting in May

I'm going to wipe all traces from my memory that I even entered the 05Apr03 Off-Street Meet :( 1 run in 5hrs - only to have huge w/spin & miss 2nd gear :(

Congrats John - doesn't make up for my shitty night though :D

On ya Johno ! That getting better. Good work to the Engine tuners etc. Good results there :] What were the 60 fts? MPH etc. List the time it run compared to its last best outing? Ide be interested. Man thats some cranking top speed. Did u even get into top gear? or is the gearing resonable? Go the 9.5 :]

Break out the speed slide rule calculator and see if she will do 180mph. Ha ha Maybe the box could do with shorter gears, diffe gears etc, although more $$$ , gota be happy with that tho.

I didn't stay all night so I missed the 9.50 run ;) I only saw the run where the car died :( Well done on the 9.5 though, great stuff!

I saw your run Matt... was thinking you didn't make it there, but then you appeared... bummmer about the launch :(

Saw Andrew's two or three runs. Good launches from what I could tell... what were your times?

I dunno how the hell you can be expected to to a good launch when you're sitting next to a supercharged monster of a V8 with no exhausts - as if you could hear anything!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
